Ayden Callaghan and Sarah-Jane Honeywell admit they finally have their dream family

When we were kids we often found ourselves daydreaming about the future. We wondered where we would live, what job we would have and if we’d have kids of our own one day.

Soap star Ayden Callaghan dreamed of being a father when he was a young boy. The former Hollyoaks star said he always believed being a father would be part of his future.

He revealed that even as a young boy, he imagined himself being a dad. The actor gushed about having kids, he shared, “I always saw myself with two boys playing football in the garden.”

Ayden’s dream came true when he welcomed his first son into the world with his wife Sarah-Jane-Honeywell.

The proud parents were thrilled to welcome their first son Phoenix on August 25, 2015. The arrival of their first son was an overwhelming milestone for the couple, as Sarah suffered a miscarriage prior to her pregnancy with Phoenix.

Sarah-Jane-Honeywell opened up about losing their first baby on her blog Honey Mumster, she wrote, “When I had Phoenix after I’d had a miscarriage, I felt truly blessed. I was admittedly, a nightmare before every scan.”

She admitted that they had at least 15 scans when she was expecting Phoenix, “[The scans] just reassured me that all was ok with my dream baby.”

Sarah understood that her husband always wanted to have two sons, but they were hesitant about extending their family.

She shared, “I worried that I wasn’t as fertile, and I’d also had an infection after my C-section, so in the back of my mind, I feared that this could have done some damage. I was slightly concerned but still hopeful.”

Sarah and Ayden decided to try for another baby shortly after their wedding, but they faced numerous hurdles, “After cycle day 30 I took a pregnancy test and there it was BFP! A Big Fat Positive.”

Former Blue Peter presenter Sarah gushed about the joyful news, “We are so thrilled and so lucky.”
